The traditional commode was developed at the beginning of the 18th century on the base of the classical chest. Accordingly to the naming and the culture of origin, Commode is a flexible furniture for storing precious, private and intimate objects like a treasure chest. This approach is underlined via the radiant yellow-gold varnished inside and edges. Special focus lies on the perfect, traditional trade and on the highest quality materials.The clear functionality and the sophisticated design language add a magical quality to each room and space..

Born out of the first collaboration with the Mühlviertl carpenters‘ workshop Pühringer, a new image of the traditional corner bench as a place for discussion, meeting, eating together, and family rituals takes shape. The reduced formal language transforms “Austrians’ favorite piece of furniture” into a purist furnishing object removed from its origin. The white-painted seat and table surface merge visually with the spatial environment; the walnut of the foundation creates strong accentuation. The dual challenge of revitalizing a traditional piece of furniture according to the proportions and models of the past and working via abstraction resulted in a reserved design solution that is full of personality.

Chair, stool, and lounge chair promise optimal seating at the table and at the bar. The ergonomically designed surfaces in the seating and reclining area provide optimal support for the buttocks and spine. The design of the chairs derives from the purist demands of the high-grade oak used. The goal, on the other hand, is the utilization of renewable resources and integration of nature into day-to-day life. More

Furniture for the outdoors on which at some point a patina forms – a patina it needs if it is situated under an old lime tree. Harnessed in “Geh‘ Stell” a tube rod with a contact surface, the wooden slats yield a table for a convivial yard party or park festival. With “Geh‘ Stell” every owner turns his set into something completely unique – be it a nostalgic garden bench or a hip designer piece. “Geh‘ Stell” combines elegant design with today’s demand for individuality and do-it-yourself ethic. We can all immortalize ourselves by clamping in our own favorite piece of wood. The wood, after all, need not have a patina. Plywood, hardwood, and new floorboard tiles will do just as well. The advantage: each person can give “Geh‘ Stell” his or he... More

The delicate legs of "Ms. You" form a stable bond through their connection with one another. The resulting lightness lends "Ms. You" its beauty. The color turquoise, which acts as a link between wood and metal, unifies "Ms. You“ to a shared whole and underscores the grace that brings back the "old times." An homage to transience. Notches of the past will always occur in the the oak panel. These impressions will be the charm of the future."Ms. You" will attract attention in moments of both coziness and high emotion; but one thing should never be forgotten – wipe the slate clean! – to shine again in your full glory.

The outer characteristic of "Commander" is the combination of curved steel and a rubber- veneered surface. However also the inner values are worth to be seen, as the Commander consists of an especially developed sliding system with felt inserts sliding over a guide rail. Opening is supported by the surface finish and due to the fine grooves its haptics is good. The Commander does not instruct anybody, yet he gives you the feeling of a strong and sensitiv protector.

The Dandies are optical mirrors. The Dandies are material mirrors. The Dandies are conceptual mirrors. Inspired from historical mirror-making techniques, benandsebastian have aimed to create a project that operates on multiple levels: as a design object, as an image and as a spatial installation that reflects, distorts and reshapes its context. Ben Clement and Sebatian de la Cour graduated, respectively, from the University of Cambridge and the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, School of Architecture in Copenhagen. Subsequently they both studied at the Bartlett School of Architecture (UCL, London), graduating in 2006. Most of benandsebastian's works are made in wood, but they like to combine the wood with other materials. Their works devel... More
